Indian Medicinal Ideas.

The Indiau ideas abOu. medic e.
are so widely different from those at
tsched 10 the same expression by The
whites that it is necessary TO explain the
matter. AS all diseases are supposed by
them to be, not disturbance of OF nat
ural actions OF the body, but the effects
produced by the presense of an evil spir-
it or several of them in the human econ
omy consequently the remedy consists
OF something that Will drive out the
demons, and this can be done only
through the agency of spirits opposed 70
those already in possession.
the term "me 1icine'' consequently
means something possessing IN itself a
spirit Of the right s"rt TO oust the ma
lignant powers. A remedy, as we un-
drrs,and it, cannot be conceived bv the
savage; he has 10 word having such
Significance in his voc buIary.
Like all sayages, the Indian believes
the entire universe is flied with powers,
individuals who are more OF less human
in character. and swayed by motives
similar TO those which move oriiDarY
humanity. Everything, animate OF in
animate, has its own individual spirit or
elemental" which survives long after
the original has disappeared. Hence
the warrior is buried with his arms, for
use in the future state of existaDce.
The friendly powers OF the earth and
air are bound TO do Linn good by reason
of their original nature. but those which
are able TO do him harm are hattered
and placa:ed in every way he can think
will serve this purpose. The malignant
powers are supposed TO be moved by the
human passions, and some of them are
thought TO be easily frightened, others
may be csjOled, while some are extreme
ly revengeful and hardly to be Influenced
by man.

How Indians Paint Their Faces.

The Indians have, without much
doubt, been called red men on account
Of the universal custom of painting
their faces and bodies, and for this pur
pose they used fine clays containing diff
ferent oxides OF iron. Since the estab-
Iishment of their trading stores they
purchase these ochres to a great extent,
but usually have some OF similar char
scter which they have themselves found.
Some advantages are claimed in the use
of these paints as a protection against
the rigoIs OF the climate, both the icy
winds of the north and the torrid sum-
mers of the south, hut l. is also because
of their superstitIons in regard to it, viz:
that it is conducive TO good luck, and
that its original use was in obedience to
The direct command of God. In apply
ing it the In liar puts little ochre'and
grease an the palm of his hand, and then
the palms ale rubbed together to thor
oughly mix and obtain the proper con-
sistepcy this is used Cor the flat tInts''
and the stripings and fancy touches are
put on afterwards. Some Indians take
more kindly to a particular color, innag
ming that it gives better lusk than an
other. When the paint is rubbed on the
face the.eyes are closed, so that the lids
may have their full share, and il may
be for this reason that some tribes pull
cut their eyelashes, as these, by holding
an extra allowance, might cause irrita-
tion of the eyes. The skin OF many In
dians' faces. especially that of the nose,
becomes full of little holes, caused, no
doubt, by the paints used. The squaws
ordinarily use red for the cheeks, and a
bright vermillion does add to their
beauty, or rather, in a way, hides their
ugliness a perpetual atmosphere of
smoke, grease and dirt, with such ac-
cessorieg as long and fatiguIng rides,
severe work and rough food is not con-
duc:ve to female beauty. War paint,
so called, is only an excessive use OF any
color. Af1er returning from an expe-
dition most tribes paint faces black of
those who have been out, that being the
color Of rejoicing. Frequently these
ochres are rubbed over the uppers of
moccasins and on clothing, and at their
dances horseshoe marks are painted on
their body or on the clothing, and the
pony is also decorated in this way. If
! one has been wounded, the place of the
wound Is glariLgly represented by red
paint on their historical pictures.

Why Some Lakes are Salt.

The cIuse of the saltness of some
many words of explanation. 1t is
probable that, when the continents were
raised from the sea, the lake-basins had
been already formed, and came up,
therefore, brimful of water. In the
northern and eastern part of the CONT
nent, where the supply from rain and
snowfall exceeds the loss by evapora-
tiOn, the salt, being continuously car
ried away through their outlets, has
become so diluted as to be An impercep-
tible quantity. In arid regions, as the
Pacific slope and the country about the
Caspian, where the evaporation was in
excess Of the supply, the water-level of
the lakes continuously sank until, ON
account of the diminished extent OF
surface, the equilibrium OF loss and
gain was attained. Hence the exceed
ing saltness OF Great Salt Lake, the
Dead Sea, etc. For like reason the
water of the Mediterra anean contains
more salt relatively than that of the
ocean. Evaporation exceeding the
supplies from the rivers and rainfall, it
requires a constant current through the
Strait OF Gibraltar. The same is true of
the Red Sea, causing a like current
through the Strait Of Bab-el-Man-deb.
Other salt or brackish lakes probably
owe their salrness 20 the supplies from
the land. Water being the most gen.
eral of al solvents, the rains gather up
the chloride of sodium from the soils
and the disintegrating rocks, and where
the streams fall into lakes whose only
outlet is evaporation, the land itself
must be constant source OF saline sup
ply, and their waters must become
more and moro salt, until their capacity
as solvent has been reached.
The Utah Basin must once have been
filed to its brim with ocean water.
The outlet has been evaporation. The
lake, receding 10 its present level, has
left many evidences of its former extent.
